The past few years have seen an amazing amount of solar module innovation. One of the biggest trends is literally about bigness—the emergence of the large-format, high-power module. With peak power ratings already well over 500 watts (and pushing toward 600 watts and beyond), these mega-modules are made possible by another photovoltaic technology trend: the transition beyond 72-cell modules featuring 156-/166-mm cells, to larger modules using c....
Since their founding in 1989, the University of Michigan Solar Car Team (UM Solar Car) has built 15 solar race cars. Currently, their working on production of their latest model for the American Solar Challenge. In addition to winning this event nine times, the team has also secured 7 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge podium finishes, and won the 2015 Abu Dhabi Solar Challenge. UM Solar Car has become America's undisputed #1 solar car ....
Community solar promises substantial good for the environment, for business, and for communities. Yet it was still very much untapped until the last few years, with only a handful of projects scattered across a handful of states that were aggressively developing policies and programs around it. That’s all changing. Just prior to COVID-19, energy experts were chirping how community solar was finally showing signs of serious growth. We see eve....
The world is waking up to the fact that the climate is changing – and unless there is a significant reduction in carbon emissions, our planet will become uninhabitable for human life. While cutting back on fossil fuels helps, key steps are also being taken to rapidly scale up renewable energy across the world. According to a recent analysis, governments, companies, and households worldwide invested $500bn into new renewable energy capacity....
